Abstract

The invention provides devices for improving assay protocol compliance, reproducibility, and sensitivity. In particular, the devices of the present invention are tailored to certain single-cell sequencing assays, including single-cell RNA sequencing assays that utilize pre-templated instant partitions (PIPs) templates, wherein such devices hold tubes stationary while performing sample preparation, provide reproducible volume removal from tubes, allow for improved magnetic separation of analytes from buffers, and provide reproducible centrifugation of tubes.
